Last month my Jazzy turned 2. I’ve been joking that she had been acting like a twonager way before that. So far it has been…interesting? This stage in a child’s life doesn’t last forever, so I’m happy to celebrate it while it lasts. Being officially two also means she’s outgrown her infant car seat. As we have watched her grow, we have been looking to transition her into a convertible car seat.
Celebrating Milestones: Transitioning From Infant To A Convertible Car Seat
This post is sponsored by diono but the content and opinion expressed here are my own.
From her undying obsession with the Paw Patrols to figuring out that leaves are fun to play with, watching Jazzy reach so many milestones has been a joy. She’s so curious and always ready for an adventure (even when it’s right in her backyard).
She is such a bright and happy child. I couldn’t ask for more. When we go on car rides, my priority is to make sure she is safe. The diono radian rXT gives me peace of mind.
diono radian rXT Review
I was recently sent the new diono radian rXT to review on the blog. This came at the perfect time because Jazzy is too big for her infant car seat. The radian rXT comfortably seats rear-facing children from 2.3 – 20.5 kg (5 – 45 lbs), forward-facing children from 10 – 29.5 kg (22 – 65 lbs) and up to 144cm (57″) in a 5-point harness, then converts to a booster for children between 23 – 54 kg (50 – 120 lbs)*.
Having a car seat that is big enough for her is so important, but it’s even more critical to ensure that the car seat is installed correctly. This is not the time to opt out of reading the user manual. After going through the manual with uncle Rene, we finally installed her new convertible car seat.
Uncle Rene is making sure the UAS latches are fastened, and the installation is tight.
If you are not 110% sure that your car seat is installed correctly, I highly suggest making an appointment to a car seat clinic in your area.

Yay for becoming a big girl and making the transition! Who’s more excited – Mom or Jazzy? 🙂
It’s what I use for Madison and have been using for years, however, I just found out that they were recalled, so I’m looking into it.

Choosing the right car seat is so important! I switched my oldest at 7 months and my youngest at 15 months from an infant to a rear-facing convertible seat.

This is not a car seat brand that I had heard of, so I will have to suggest it to friends with little ones based on your review. Sounds like a good one to consider.
Your little girl is adorable and she looks so comfortable in her new car seat. Happy belated birthday to her!
Our girls were so excited to make the transition to a big-girl seat! They were tired of see where we had been and wanted to see where we were going!

This is such a big milestone to achieve. Your daughter is adorable and looks so happy to be in her new big girl seat!
I bet she was happy to upgrade! That looks like a great seat.
It’s so important to keep current on this information. I would hate to lose my baby in a car accident because of an improper car seat.

These milestones are exciting it makes you look forward to them growing
That looks like a great convertible car seat and looks like your precious little one loves it.
I remember when we transitioned my youngest from his baby car seat to a convertible. We just transitioned him to a nice booster about 6 months ago. It is sad that they grow too fast. 🙁
